Kaduna Council Bosses Blow Hot, Threaten Court Showdown Over Alleged N1bn Vehicle Scandal

The Kaduna State chapter of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) has issued a stern warning of possible legal action against one Imrana Wakili, accusing him of spreading false claims about Governor Uba Sani on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

Wakili, using the handle @iu_wakili, alleged that Governor Sani approved ₦4.6 billion for the purchase of vehicles for local government chairmen.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Alhaji Muhammad Lawal Shehu, ALGON dismissed the claims as entirely unfounded and misleading.

The association demanded a public retraction and formal apology from Wakili, warning that failure to do so within seven days would result in legal proceedings.

ALGON emphasized that Governor Sani has maintained a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility and cost-saving initiatives since taking office.

“The circulated document is a fabrication aimed at deceiving the public and attracting attention from individuals with malicious intent,” the statement read.

The association also cautioned against the continued spread of misinformation, urging individuals to refrain from actions that could mislead the public and damage the reputation of the state government.
